In the new dawning of 2003, Country Music has a bright shining hope on the horizon for re-claiming its roots and recapturing the true sound and spirit that's made it great. The feat can be explained with four simple words: SAMMY KERSHAW IS BACK.

Better yet, Kershaw is a man with a mission. His new single on Koch/Audium Records, "I WANT MY MONEY BACK" is the opening shot on what promises to be one of the most exciting "returns" to hit the music industry. In KERSHAW's case, he's not returning to country music-he's never been away. Both as a single artist, and combining on tour dates with wife, Lorrie Morgan, SAMMY KERSHAW has consistently been one of the biggest live performing artists in the music industry. But what he is making a major mission in his career right now is the return of country music to the throne--and to the airwaves.

"'I WANT MY MONEY BACK,' is the real deal in Country," noted Kershaw in a recent national interview. "In music, everything is a timing thing and I knew when we were in the studio working on the upcoming album, radio and the fans were ready for what we have to give them on this project...it's a return to the kind of country music I-and I think a lot of the fans--have missed."

Key to Sammy's timing is his new alliance with the creative machine at Koch/Audium Records-an innovative, aggressive label with a vision for the future of country music and a respect for its past. For the Kershaw project, the singer's highly distinctive voice with the soulful sound and the Cajun kick is teamed with the genius of legendary producer, Richard Landis, whose efforts, like Kershaw's, have lined his walls with platinum.

Koch/Audium's Nick Hunter is anticipating the Kershaw single-and the album that's hits todayto have a major impact with radio and audiences.

Often called the 'heir apparent' to the mantle currently held by 'the voice' himself-George Jones-SAMMY KERSHAW helped make the '90's the biggest decade ever for Country Music. His platinum albums were propelled by hits such as "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," "Cadillac Style," "I Can't Reach Her Anymore," "Meant To Be," "Haunted Heart," and "Love Of My Life"-to mention only a small sampling of milestones in his music.

In a day of high taxes, high prices and economic woes, rejoice Country Music! SAMMY KERSHAW is back and we're all a little richer!
